YEREVAN, Armenia – The presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will meet
in Russia on July 17 and could open a "new page" in negotiations over
breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh, the French mediator said.
The meeting will be the sixth between Azeri President Ilham Aliyev
and Armenia’s Serzh Sargsyan in little over a year.
French envoy Bernard Fassier said the intensity of talks was
"unprecedented" in the 15 years since the ceasefire.
"We are now at a very important stage of the negotiation process,"
Fassier told a news conference Wednesday in Yerevan.
He said he hoped the meeting would "open a new page in the
negotiations."
A trio of French, Russian and U.S. mediators under the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe say they are close to a breakthrough
on the fate of the enclave.
